i have just begun to bonsai a japonese loquat tree. it' not the usual bonsai choise because of it's large leaves but i like the contrast of trunk size to leaf size. i think it has potential. good luck with yours.

they really are unique grows, bonsai. i get so excited to see new growth on these little trees.

I'm not sure what the type is, I've been looking online trying to identify it......not having any luck though so far....I'm about to go get another real soon...I'm hooked....soon my entire home will have a miniature landscape inside..LOL...I love Bonsai..

..I would like to see some pix of your loquat that would be nice.

Hey 000420, it looks like a cotoneaster to me. I had three of them I was training up a couple of years back, went on holiday, they had all been blown over, pots smashed, roots dried, unsalvagable

I've been meaning to give it a try again. I had a lime tree which was a beauty, and it died for no apparent reason sadly. Haven't had one since that.

sorry to here about the loss. Do you really think it's a cotoneaster? I would love to know what this tree is, I'm attaching a better photo of the leaves...also here is some photos since I gave its first pruning since I've taken it home.....I want to buy some moss spores to plant on the top of the soil.I think that would look great.

Yeah, I think it's some kind of cotoneaster, but i'm not a botanist, just an amateur!
With moss, just go find some living out in the wild, like on a brick wall or something, cut it off, put it on the soil in your pot, and if you keep it moist it should take hold really easily

I love bonsaid cannabis..... not a fan of growing anything but herbs myself anyways.

I have a 6 month old mother which I still don't consider Bonsai'd, but after each haircut, she's usually about 8-10" tall.
